Whilst the folk of the UK are facing real hardship with rising food, fuel and energy prices this woman flies to Australia for an annual meeting using a private government plane at an estimated cost of half a million pounds.

She sees nothing wrong with what she did when with just normal planning she could easily have boarded a charter flight for the said annual meeting.

And this is a person who sees herself as a contender for the next Tory Leadership race.

Is she out of touch with reality or is she justified in spending public money in this way?

I personally think her extravagant use of tax payers money with scant regard for anybody but herself is unacceptable but what does everybody else think?
 
Former Lib Dem who saw a chance at grabbing power and took it.

Another self serving Tory who allegedly let Gove slip her one on the way er... up.

See also her views on Brexit.

Saw an opportunity to get a more important job and suddenly changed her mind. But she's just one of many MPs overpromoted purely on the grounds of their loyalty to Boris. Cameron's government were bastards, but for the most part they weren't completely incompetent.

Indeed.

Cameron's cronies were intelligent political bastards. Johnson's are just complete and utter bastards.

Bet she’s got a Union Jack in her Twitter bio, the ****
 
£500k isn't that much in the grand scheme of things. But then I think about all of the friends I have who lost their jobs at one of the government's organisations after they refused to cover the cost of a temporary downturn in business during covid, and I reckon that would have covered all of their salaries for a couple of years. Instead, they all got kicked out of their job in the middle of a pandemic, and weren't entitled to any furlough money because they were based overseas.

As always, one rule for us, and one rule for them. We have to tighten our belts to save every penny and get the company to break even, while they continue to spend on themselves like nothing's changed.

Just out of interest, what are private government planes for if not for being used by government members for such trips (assuming it was a work related trip)? Couldn't they all use charter flights and therefore there is no need for such planes?

Trump was the same - going everywhere in airforce one instead of Ryanair. One rule for them and another for the rest of us it seems.
 
Didn’t she also hold a meeting at some swanky restaurant where it cost a fortune, even though she was told by advisers that there were far better alternatives?

Just shows how out of touch these people are and those who still have trust in them must be seeing something that I’d really be interesting in hearing.

I think they mean a scheduled flight, say using BA or QANTAS.

On which she could have flown 1st class for £13,391

I thought the op was mixed up too. The flight might br RAF as well
I would think that first class air fare is reasonable but l suspect she will have a retinue with her as well.
But when she gets back she will be picked up by a much prized ministerial car but if you catch its number plate you will see it is a few years old and seemingly they keep costs down on such cars. It might be because of bullet proofing but it's seems they could update quite a few cars for one private flight to a conference.

Thick as shit absolute car crash of a specimen but would love to see her next Tory leader.

Surely she could just get an Uber? Once again the Tory bitch lords it over us while kids starve.

Boris Johnson treats us with contempt and he`s the leader of her party. Most politicians but maybe not all treat us with the same contempt.
